is there anyone out there who remembers this school i attended this school in approx 1963 and played in the church yard across the road and lived in bedford road happy days i think the heads name was miss. mc dowell
 
I went to Holy Trinity. Moved there from Chandos Road in about 1963 and left in 1965. Head was Deidre McDowell or 'The Angel of Camp Hill' as she was known. I lived in Timperley Grove, off Ravenhurst Street. do you know if the building is still standing? Went past Trinity Church on the train a couple of weeks ago and there was a building opposite which I thought could have been the school.

Hi Keith,

I think this picture of Trinity Terrace may appeal to you. I attended that school too back in 53. It looks like Deans the money lender at the top on the right. You'll remember that the school was just below the houses pictured. Up the Blues!

the school I dont know about but the church has had a few problems over the years I was amongst a team of community service volunteers who repainted and did some other work there in the early seventies !
 
thankyou for the picture of trinity terrace what a rush of the past before me, still wondering if anyone still alive from bedford road who lived there in 1962ish would be wonderful to hear from them sue linthwaite

Does anyone know how old the school is and when it was built?

Was it built after Holy Trinity church?

Hi I remember you guys,Keith & Peter. I am Steve Henderson i used to come to your house and play.If i remember correctly you lived at 60 New bond street.I lived at Samson Rd North and along with many other kids played on the church yard.Hope to hear from you and anyone else who remembers me or my brothers Paul,Gary.
 
Hi,Yes i remember your names although cannot put a face to the name. We lived at the bottom of the yard down Stratford St North where my dad Bill had lived all his life. Had no other responses, I was only young when we left but can remember Alfie and Viv Mobbs, Micheal and Martin Higgins. You possibly knew my uncle Tom who also lived at my dads before I was born. anyone else been in touch that i may remember.
 
Hi My mom and dad( Bill and Norma Edwards) got married at that church in 1957. Me and my sister Julie went to Holy Trinity until about '66 when we moved away due to the houses being demolished in the yard down Stratford St North. My dad was born there along with his brothers Eric and Tommy and his sister Kath. Let me know if anyone remembers them. Tommy and Eric still going strong but my dad and Kath both gone now.

Hi Martin,
my name is Peter Yates , if you want Keith's details I can let you have them.
Do you remember Gillian Pallin she lived in Bordesley Park Rd , she didn't turn up
to school one day , where did she go ? Have a photograph of Gillian Mills age 7 is she still
alive , do you have any photographs? Took photographs of the school when it was demolished.
Regards Peter
 
Hi Peter

Have not got any photos, do not remember Gillian Pallin, I would like you to give me Keiths details

Regards
Martin
 
I believe that this is a photo of Holy Trinity School Camp Hill or part of it at least taken in 1963 not long before it was demolished. Looking through this thread I note that some of the photos are missing. I will get around to replacing those that I am able to as soon as I can.

Another photo of Trinity Terrace showing a school entrance halfway up the hill on the right. I'm sorry but I do not know if this was the only entrance or if there were others. This photo is dated 1969 so if the date is true the school was still there then

Some nice memories of Holy Trinity School, I was there from 1951 untill going on to senior school at Ada Road, next to the Blues ground.
I also lived in Stratford Street North.
 
My wife and her sister lived in Bedford Road until 1966 when they left to live in Acocks Green, her name was then Carol Hill and her sister Christine, they both went to Holy Trinity school, they often talk of the hard times then but they have good memories.
